"The city is not like the village. There is a mix of good and bad people from all walks of life. There are all kinds of people. The hooligans are much more powerful than those in the village. Relatives, grandparents have been born here for generations, someone suppressed them after all."

"These people don't recognize their relatives when they arrive in the city. They are all oppressive."

The two bought things and went back to the village. Zhang Fangyuan looked at Xu He still a little absent-minded, and tried to comfort him while talking.

"They seem to be afraid of you." Xu He suddenly asked stupidly but seriously: "Were you like this before?"

"I used to provoke troubles before, but I never bullied ordinary people. I always took people to ask for bills or guard buildings to prevent others from provoking trouble." A butcher, his strikes are more severe than ordinary people: "Those little rascals will give me two points of face if they know me."

Xu He thought to himself that this person was trying to save face for you, and it was clearly just to frighten you. Looking at the big green bags protruding from the foreheads of those two people today, I don't know how many times they have been hit. Although it is not the first time that Zhang Fangyuan knows that Zhang Fangyuan will beat people, the last time he caught a thief, he only broke it. The oily skin is obviously merciful, and seeing the two hooligans dealt with today is the real chapter.

"Don't be afraid, I just beat those two boys today when I was in a hurry." His wife showed him the fungus when he went out in the morning, but asked the two to throw it on the ground. Get angry: "I will never hit my own people."

He stretched out his arms to wrap around Xu He's shoulders, and patted his hairy head.

"I know."

Xu He was slightly frightened today, the carriage was rickety, he let out a breath, Zhang Fangyuan held him, and he leaned against him.

Zhang Fangyuan was very happy in his heart, but he felt sorry for his wife and wanted to go back and beat those two boys up again.

"So don't think about it anymore. Tonight we will go to Chen's house to help with things. You should have a good rest first."

Xu He opened his eyes: "I didn't think wildly, but you scolded those two people and left without paying any money."

"..."

"Don't worry, they will find it themselves and return the money someday. How can there be such a cheap thing for them. The little brother will not dare to say anything more about you after he thinks about it. His husband will definitely take care of him."

Xu He didn't have anything else to do this morning, and said again: "Then you can take the money back." Treat it as hard money.

"it is good."

Change tomorrow to ask for more.

When the two returned to the village, many helpers had already arrived at the Chen family, and the bustle could be heard from the Zhang family.

After Zhang Fangyuan unloaded his own things in his yard, he directly pulled the things bought by the Chen family, and immediately several men from the Chen family rushed to move the things down.

Xu He also followed to help, seeing that he had something to do, but he didn't know what to do, when he was thinking of helping to build the stove, Chen Si came out and said, "Brother He, can you chop vegetables? It was originally cut by Aunt Hu, just now someone from the family said that the child had a fever, so they rushed back."

"Can."

"Okay, then I will trouble you."

Zhang Fangyuan moved his things into the house and came out. Seeing that Xu He was tying up his apron, he stepped over to help someone tie a knot on his back waist, and then rolled up his sleeves: "Later, I will go to the village with Chen Si to borrow a table. Move here."

"Um."

A group of women picking vegetables and peeling garlic on the table next to them grumbled and motioned for everyone to watch.

"Look at the young couple."

"I didn't expect Zhang Fangyuan to treat the people in the house very well."

"That can't be good? After all, she is a daughter-in-law who worked hard to get."

Xu He sat down at a rectangular table built by a door panel, moved the cutting board and started cutting vegetables and meat. A large pot of meat, some cut, fatty meat cut into pieces for twice-cooked pork, lean meat shredded for stir-frying, chicken cut into pieces for stewing soup. When everyone saw that Zhang Fangyuan had left, they stopped talking about him. People in the village didn't talk about people's merits in front of their faces.

So he talked and laughed about other things in the village, someone's child is going to be full moon, someone's old man is about to die, etc. Xu He doesn't like to participate and talk about these things, but he will also listen to the fun from the sidelines, feeling that others are getting married Going to help or having a drink alone is more interesting than getting married by yourself.

"I heard from Mrs. Chen that this time the cook is the chef from the next village, and the dishes are delicious."

"I think the cook that Zhang Fangyuan hired last time is not bad."

"Have you gone to eat Fei's wine?"

"ate."

The voices of the women and the boys became softer: "There are quite a few tables, but the dishes are very petty. There are twelve dishes on a table. The amount of eight dishes may not be enough, and they are forced to be cooked." Twelve, I cleared the tables when I went to help, and there was no soup left on each table. There was not enough food, and everyone was too embarrassed to say anything.”

"Hey, if you want to do it beautifully, but you don't want to spend money, how can it work?"

"Or it's like the butcher's family, who uses the half-headed animal to produce twelve vegetables, each in a big pot and bowl. Or it's like this family, who produces eight vegetables, which is enough. How many families It’s all like this, and no one is making fun of it.”

As Xu Shaochun's natal family, Xu He stayed at his home for dinner on the wedding day, and did not go to Fei's house, and he didn't know what the banquet was like at Fei's house. Speaking of which, his second sister also got married for a while, and since she got married, although he lived in the same village, he left early and returned late, so he really hadn't met her.

Today, the Chen family is doing errands, and I haven't seen his mother come to help. His mother loves people in the village to do errands. At present, it is estimated that there are only two people left in the family, and Xu Changren is injured again, so he really cannot leave and cannot come here, and he wants to come back tomorrow.

It's no wonder that every family in the village wants to have a son, one is to carry on the family line, and the younger brothers and girls are all married, and the lonely couple is also lonely.

The Chen family set up two tables for dinner on the first day, and Xu He helped clean up and wash the dishes after dinner. Today, the men didn't drink for a long time and stayed at the table for a long time, and tomorrow they have to get up early to help with errands. It was not too late when the couple came home.

After washing up, Zhang Fangyuan thought that he didn't have to go out to the city tomorrow anyway, and he could get up later than usual, so he had an excuse to ask for something else.

Xu He leaned against his chest, and felt the body on the back was heating up, so he quickly moved to the other side.

Zhang Fangyuan posted it cheekily: "It's still early."

"That's gone." Xu Hequ started to look at Zhang Fangyuan: "Did you forget?"

Zhang Fangyuan's bushy eyebrows tightened. How could he forget about this? No wonder he came back today and felt that there was something he didn't buy, but Xu He counted the things carefully and said that there was nothing missing. It is clear that he promised to buy it when he ran out of it earlier, his wife has a very good memory, so she must have deliberately not reminded him today.

This little brother!

"Huh?" Xu He raised his eyebrows innocently and regretfully, and tucked the corner of the quilt: "Go to sleep. Aren't you going to greet the bride with cousin Chen Si tomorrow?"

Seeing him like this, Zhang Fangyuan felt even more itchy. He clearly wanted to hold him so that nothing would mess around, but he buckled his slender waist and stretched out his legs to press down on him: "Why don't we try? Yes. I see that the front is already very good, and it will definitely not be the same as the beginning."

Xu He felt so familiar that he was out of breath, and quickly opened his hand to push Zhang Fangyuan who was sniffing at him like a dog. If he wanted to push this stone away, he would definitely not be able to push it away. He was anxious and annoyed: "Ah Far!"

"Angry?"

Xu He pursed his lips tightly, his brow raised two small ridges.

Zhang Fangyuan got off him quickly: "I'm just teasing you."

Xu He didn't pay attention to him, and turned his back to him when he felt relaxed, closing his eyes as if he was going to sleep. Zhang Fangyuan was afraid that he would be like this. He didn't talk much at first, but if he got angry, he would be like a mute, and he would be speechless. He tugged at the corner of Xu He's clothes flatteringly: "Really, I'm just going to make trouble with you."

Seeing that the person still didn't answer, he said again: "How do you know my name is A Yuan? They only called me that when my parents were alive."

Xu He said after a while, "I heard Xiaomao called."

"Oh, yes." Zhang Fangyuan took the opportunity to hug him back again: "You can call me that in the future. It sounds so close."

Xu He didn't say yes or no, but this time he leaned on Zhang Fangyuan, and nothing happened. On the contrary, Zhang Fangyuan couldn't fall asleep for a long time, stared at Xu He for a long time, and finally kicked the quilt on his body to the bottom of the bed.

The next day, after getting up and washing, the couple went to Chen's house to have breakfast. The morning is the busiest, so dinner should be prepared early, and the auspicious time for welcoming the relatives is set early. The banquet is arranged, and the time is still tight.

Xu He drank the porridge and saw that his mother had come today, so he greeted her. At about Chenshi, his second sister and her new mother-in-law Fei Niangzi also came over, and the two seemed to be in harmony.

Xu Shaochun's face is full of red, and he greets everyone when he sees him. He is even more beautiful than before he got married. In fact, his eyebrows and eyes are still the same, but the newly married has faded away from the youthfulness of a girl's family, and has a little more of a little woman. When the charm comes out, it attracts men's attention even more than before.

Xu He got married before his sister, so he naturally knew why she was like this. Presumably, the couple's life was quite nourishing, and Liu Xianglan had a lot of pre-marital education before she got married. He was also selling vegetables in the city not long ago, and he happened to hear a few women with daughters and younger brothers talk about it, so he realized that before he got married, his old lady wanted to teach those things.

It's a pity that Liu Xianglan didn't say anything, he just didn't have those things, everyone was going to figure it out on their own after getting married, how could they know there was a small stove.

But he didn't take it to heart, and the left and right are no longer in the way.

Xu He also greeted Xu Shaochun, and continued to work on his own affairs. Xu Shaochun was very diligent outside, washing vegetables and cleaning dishes, the women all boasted to Mrs. Fei that they had married a good wife.

Fei's mother smiled, of course she was happy to be flattered, but she didn't show it too clearly. Before his son returned to the academy, he explained carefully that the family should not show off too much, and it would be bad for their reputation.

No matter how proud she was, she would not dare to harm her son's fame and reputation.

It was almost noon, and Xu He went into the kitchen with the chopped side dishes. Seeing several members of the Chen family gathered together, they were talking in a state of desperation.

"There are only three or two tables for lunch, anyone can do it. But the important thing is the banquet in the evening, how can it be done without a cook!"

"Now it takes a long time to invite people, but we may not be able to invite them. They didn't tell us in advance, and they don't have friendship with us. Whoever wants to come rashly."

"That's all, I've prepared everything. Just find someone in our village who cooks well and make do with it. There's nothing I can do about it."

"Then who are you calling?"

Several people looked at Xu He who came in, their eyes lit up, and Mrs. Chen stepped forward to pull Xu He: "Brother He, I remember that your sister can cook, and it was not your second sister who slaughtered the New Year pig at your house last time." I just saw her coming, can I ask her for a favor?"

Xu He hugged the vegetable bowl in embarrassment: "This, I have to ask my second sister if she agrees to this."
